THE REVIEW
The eighth studio album by the Beatles, released in 1967, is considered by many (and by myself as well) to be their masterpiece. A varied album, very varied, where psychedelia and British pop, lightness and complexity, rock and Indian music alternate. There isn't a song that can be labeled as "bad," and the low points of the album are very few (when I say "low points" I don't mean the songs, but anything within them, like a note, a moment of a song, a riff...). In this album, there are historic songs like "Lucy In The Sky With The Diamonds," "A Day In The Life"... but also underrated gems like "Within You, Without You," "She's Leaving Home," and especially the psychedelic "Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite!". It is remarkable how such a varied album made by a band that had become famous in previous years for catchy pop songs about love managed to achieve great commercial success at the time. With this album, pop and rock have completely changed, both in terms of music, lyrics, and the way of thinking, producing, and making a record. Pop evolves, but this evolution can only be for the better.
Favorite Track: "A Day In The Life"
Least Favorite Track: "Good Morning, Good Morning"
Most Underrated Track: "Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite!"

The most beautiful track on the album is the closing one: A Day In The Life is perhaps one of the most beautiful and modern songs by the Beatles.
She’s Leaving Home still manages to move me, blending perfectly in the myriad of bright lights and colors of the album.

"’A Day In The Life’ is the masterpiece above another 4-5 masterpieces, I seriously wouldn’t know how to define it."
"It’s like going to the theater and seeing 4 strangely dressed guys doing strange things singing natural, human music."

The whole class watches him squirm like a Houdini of the urban underclass, the new feminist girls then... kick the male chauvinist bear and spit rains down everywhere.
Davide X instead of lady laxatives could have found with unchanged results... a copy of the already much-mentioned Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.

Although inferior to contemporary "hard" rock songs by The Who, Rolling Stones or Kinks, it perhaps has the merit of introducing this kind of music to less attentive listeners.
A masterpiece that seems to have no weak points... you won’t hear it played in any dance entertainment for sixty-year-old professionals. Chapeau.

"Sgt. Pepper’s should be protected by an impenetrable case to avoid attacks from any deterrent agent of natural or artificial origin."
"Anyone who loves rock music and beyond MUST own ‘Sgt. Pepper’s.’"
